But with this and the Dracula movie, I'm wondering what other classic movie villains should get the sympathetic prequel treatment. The power ranking:

1. Hans Gruber. We're all dying to see little Hans Gruber being neglected by his parents.
2. Megatron. He was bullied by the cool transformers when he was in high school.
3. Police Chief from the Police Academy movies. I'm sure there's a good, heartwarming reason he's so anti-Guttenberg.
4. Hans Landa. Another Hans? Come on. How lazy is this list?
5. Angel Eyes. Poor, misunderstood Angel Eyes.
That got a hardy LOL from me.
